Ingredients 

  • 8 spring onions chopped
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 medium potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 2 Tbsp butter or 2-3 Tbsp olive oil
  • sea salt to taste
  • ½ tsp white pepper ground
  • ⅓ tsp coriander ground
  • fresh thyme

Instructions

  • Boil the potatoes in a small pot, adding just enough water to cover them.
  • In a separate pot, add the butter or olive oil and let it melt and heat over low heat.
  • Add the chopped spring onions and onion. Stir continuously until all the onions are soft and cooked, being careful not to burn them. This will take up to 10-15 minutes.
  • If they start to stick, add a little water.
  • When the potatoes are boiled, add them to the pot with the onions, along with their cooking water.
  • Stir and season with salt, white pepper and ground coriander.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • Using an immersion blender, blend all the vegetables until the soup reaches a creamy consistency.
  • If needed, add more water to reach the desired consistency.
  • Serve topped with fresh thyme and a drizzle of olive oil.

Notes

Save the starchy potato water — it goes into the soup and is part of what makes it creamy. For a vegan version, swap the butter for 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil.
